In this paper Received January 20 2013 impact and damage behavior of elastic and visco-elastic bodies are investigated numerically Received in Revised form using the finite element analyses. The results showed that visco-elastic materials distribute July 2 2013 stresses to the edge of model after the impact with a solid body. Furthermore the impact of Accepted 11 July 2013 Available online elastic and visco-elastic composite materials are analyzed and the variations of stress 12 July 2013 displacement damage energy and the damage patterns during a time period are compared for Keywords the two material models. The reduction in the values of stress displacement and damage energy Elastic material of visco-elastic material is also determined relative to the elastic composite material.

Introduction Impact loading or high speed collide of bodies is one of the main reasons for occurring the overall failure or damage of engineering materials and component. For example impact of very small particles with great velocities to the fuselage of airplanes can affect noticeably the reliability and safe operational conditions of aero space structures. Therefore it is necessary to study the behavior of materials and structures and the damage induced under high speed loading conditions such as impact and shock loading. Damage in ductile materials occurs .
